							It 
							takes a great deal of effort and dedication to pull 
							off an event as large as the Annual Boy Scout BBQ in 
							Lincoln. The event will be held this Sunday, but 
							work began on Thursday preparing the tasty smoked 
							meat that will be served to over a thousand hungry 
							customers. Thursday evening there was a rubbing 
							party at the Lincoln IGA as scouts and volunteers 
							prepared the pork for smoking. On Friday night, 
							throughout the night, the delicious aroma of smoked 
							pork testified to the hard working smokers and the 
							people manning them all night long. This evening a 
							crew will gather to "pull the pork" and get it ready 
							for serving tomorrow. The annual event will be held 
							at the Lincoln Knights of Columbus from 10:30 a.m. 
							to 2 p.m. For the complete menu, check out this 
							advertisement in Lincoln Daily News.
